Well, the more the merrier I guess! This is a great idea for a GB - Thanks to Erik Gjørup (@airbum) - how can anyone not have a few F-16's in their stash.

While I search for the missing tail piece on my YF-16 build, I figured I can finish this little guy since the GB has officially started.

The kit is the Dragon Air Superiority Kit 4004 which features a double build of a F-16C and a Su-27, but I'll jut be completing the F-16C.

The kit was started I little while ago back when I found a nice micro display case, in which I could squeeze about 8 1/144th scale builds. I started assembly on 6 different kits, one being his Dragon F-16C from the USAFE 512 TFS “DRAGONS”, apparently based at the infamous Ramstein Airbase.

The 512 TFS squadron moto is "Vigilare Pro Pace" which translates to 'On Guard for Peace'.

THIS LITTLE GUY IS SMALL!

But it's turning out to be a fun little build thanks to my bifocals.

Undersides sprayed Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey, Front section/Tail XF-66 Light Grey, Upper Surfaces XF-24 Dark Grey and Nose XF-53 Neutral Grey.

I figured this little gut will need a display base so I found some runway concrete images and plan to use the Squadron Dragons Crest.

Another awesome entry, my friend @georgeswork! Superb looks already.!

Fantastic job so far, my friend @georgeswork!

Thanks you Spiros & John.

Landing gear applied and canopy almost down. The lining was done free hand with Humbrol Semi-Black 85.

Also decided the final layout for the mount pad. Went with the Dragons crest and the USAFE crest.

I couple of passes to clean the model prior to gloss coat required, I have finder prints all over the thing.

Decals should be on soon.

Got to admit, I thought this little guy was going to be a little hard to handle but it`s not that bad dealing with 1/144th scale.

And it will not take up any room at all on the shelf.

Looking excellent, my friend @georgeswrk!
A gorgeous little fella!

Wow, that’s a tiny Viper! Very nice work so far.

Excellent job so far, my friend @georgeswork!
An amazing assortment of models!

Thank you Spiros (@fiveten) and John (@johnb). Thanks for following this little GB.

I have a feeling that the mini display case will take a little more time than I first thought.

All decals applied to the F-16. I tried some panel liner on the bottom and it looks a bit messier than I'd like. I am gonna think about adding panel liner to the upper side, but I'll need to coat everything with a Satin coat finish before I call it complete.

Meanwhile, tanks and sidewinders put in place with some Cyan-Glue and front pitot tube added.

Almost done. 🙂

Also, I found a photo of the original aircraft, looks pretty good.
